Movie: Penelope
“Penelope” is a small-budget movie that was apparently released sometime in 2008, although I do not remember any advertising for the movie. Anyway, my wife and I rented it this past weekend. It was a surprisingly charming ‘modern day fairy tale’ staring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. …
The Wizard of Oz (1939)

My Life in Ruins
Although it is, in my opinion, a chick-flick, “My Life in Ruins” is a great, light-hearted movie, and if you enjoyed “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” then you will be sure to enjoy this movie. The writing and acting will not be recognized at the Oscars next year, but …
Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Guys and Dolls
I have a lot of respect for 1955’s Guys and Dolls because it pulled off the surprise sensation of the year, musically. I recently reviewed Chicago and commented there how surprised I was at the performances of non-singers and dancers Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellweger. …
Iron Man
I believe that “Iron Man” is the best super hero movie for this year. What is really interesting about this movie is that it brings two great actors Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Partlow together on big screen for a great movie blockbuster.
In an interview, …

Black Sunday movie

Kung fu Panda
I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.

The Karate Kid 2010

Fantasia
For me, it is hard to see what the problem is or was with Fantasia. Most critics hated it back in 1940, especially classical music enthusiasts. They felt Disney animators butchered a beautiful art form. How naive is that? The animation was fantastic and, I felt, only …
